Nokia 5.4, 6.39″ HD+ 4GB RAM + 128GB ROM Android 11 (48MP + 5MP + 2MP + 2MP) + 16PM Dual SIM – Polar Night I Blue

HMD Global is pitching the Nokia 5.4 to content creators who want “cinema-grade” camera tools without having to spend a whole lot. It’s powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC,. The 6.39-inch panel has decent viewing angles, and colour reproduction is adequate.

Software is one area that is hard to find fault with on Nokia smartphones. It’s stock Android 11 with just Google suite of apps, a support app from HMD Global, and a Cinema editor extension in the Google Photos app for colour grading H-Log videos. The Nokia 5.4 has a 4,000mAh battery, enough to get me through one full day of heavy use, and even the next day if the usage is frugal.

The main camera also shoots decent still images during the day. But overall, the cameras are impressive. Design and ergonomics are strong points for the Nokia 5.4.
